    hi steve, i got 56,1/2" outside to outside,[as per your diagram,] not sure how "correct" my body is,as its very old, it will be interesting to see how close to any others that measurement turns out to be,your builds coming on real well,:cool: hope this is of some small help.

    Original 1940 Willys coupe below - never a gasser, original floors unmolested - never messed with. Outside of B pillar to outside of B pillar 58", outside quarter panel to outside quarter panel 58.5". Beware of measurements taken off cars that have had modified firewalls and floors - distortion is easily caused....

    Just went out and checked mine to see how it compares to everyone else. My coupe and sedan are both 58.5. Keep up the good work:)
